Hudson Barton Pronunciation

Head coach Tim Corbin on Barton: “Hudson is an on-point, mature, and steady young man who brings a low-maintenance, intentional approach to everything he does. Although an injury in the middle of last season cut his freshman year short, Hudson was on track to make an impact, and the experience has only strengthened his focus and resolve. He is an intentional worker who is about the right things and approaches his development with consistency and purpose. Hudson’s physical tools are firmly in place. He possesses a high-level arm with the ability to execute on the mound and carries himself with a strong presence. As he continues to build momentum, he will impact our pitching staff and compete for valuable innings. Off the field, Hudson is a reliable and consistent student who handles his responsibilities the right way. He is a young man who can be trusted and one who continues to move forward with clarity and intent.”
